I found this next to a dumpster in Little Havana, Miami and it badly needs new cushions and (vinal?) covering and edging on both the seat and backrest.

Where can I go to get this done? Any old reupholstering shop?

Nice work! Especially the millerstripe armshell and the mulhauser lounge. Those pieces seem extremely hard to do right.

thanks again
millerstripe hands down is the hardest, and for the first three years we could not get it right, so we always used vinyl on the sides mixed with the millerstrip ,cause of the lines,
Then one of the guys with 29 years experience took over when Jim who was doing all the shell chairs left us and
BINGO he got it perfect on the first try and we have been doing it perfect ever since, That is my favorite chair and fabric hands down. To me that is the best of Girard, Eames, and Herman Miller
